Naga Mandala

In an Indian folktale tradition of a story within a story, the critically acclaimed playwright Girish Karnad sows into the fertile mind of a sleepless writer a fascinating tale. A story narrated by a 'Story', a story carried late in to the dark night by giggling flames gathered in a derelict temple and a story of a queen and her snake lover. This Indian folk 'tail' has many twists!

Once again The Holy Cow Performing Arts Group bring to you enchanting scenes from the mystical land of India. Directed by Malika Nagar, and presented in association with Diverse Attractions the play will run from 11th to 16th August, 2008 at Riddle's Court, Lawnmarket and is part of the Edinburgh Fringe festival.

Naga Mandala, magically captures both the human construal of reality in loneliness and the physical and perceived manifestations of these fantasies. Underlying themes of loyalty, faith and honour that characterize Karnad's plays treacherously lead viewers to their own accounts of the tale.
